The City of Auckland was especially
built for the London-Auckland trade. She was a composite vessel, having iron framing,
sheathed with 5½ inch teak, copper fastened throughout. She was specially finely fitted
up. On a scroll at the break of the poop were carved the lines by Campbell: Her path
is o'er the mountain wave,Her home is on the deep.

Our
sincere thanks to Bruce Goodman for helping with this passenger list
